Retreat, quilt show

Oh, my, the retreat was just wonderful! It was so nice to go and have no interruptions and just sew and sew and sew. I worked on a rather intricate paper-pieced iris wallhanging. I got probably 3/4 or more of it pieced, and I'm really liking the way it looks. My place for sewing was just this side of my friend there in the black shirt. I think there were about 25 of us there, with several from our quilt guild.

The day before the retreat, I went to a quilt show. It wasn't real large, and almost all the quilts were hand quilted, which further inspired me to try hand quilting again. It's been many years since I have done that.
These pictures are from the show.

About Me

I am a retired wife, mother and grandmother. My husband is the best. We have two dear sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and four darling grandchildren. We are very fortunate to have our children and grandchildren close by, so we see a lot of them. In my spare time, I love to quilt, and have the stash, etc. to go along with it. I enjoy cooking and I love to try new recipes. I also crochet, embroider, and knit, but not nearly to the extent that I quilt.
